They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Waterbury is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. There is no detox listed near Naugatuck at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.

Naugatuck has 14 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Naugatuck has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Look up the free family groups in Naugatuck as well, because they outlast any program.

There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.
